I tried this recipe. It was delicious. Easy to do. I’m not much of a chef/cook so this was perfect. Thank you!

Took Lisa’s advice and we ate at the Mosiac tonight, had the exact same thing in the pic. A real treat! Tried one of their herb teas, pomegranate, wonderful. Hope to go back to enjoy the open mike. Susan

Comment on Horseradish (Amoracia rusticana) the hot herb by Chris George

Horseradish Sauce or Creamed Horseradish goes particularly well with Smoked Mackerel or Smoked Trout or Salmon but in the latter use sparingly.
.
SMOKED MACKEREL PATE

300gr hot smoked mackerel fillets (skinned,deboned and mashed)
50g unsalted butter, softened
3 tbls creamed horseradish( maybe less if using fresh as it is more pungent than the commercial kind)
2 tbls single cream
pepper

Mix all the above and season with the pepper.
Spoon into a serving dish
Cover with cling film and chill until required
Serve with plenty of toast

Comment on Craving pickles? Dig burdock! by Susan Aaron

Wow, now I know what to do with all those pesky plants! Has anyone tried Milkweed shoots, it’s a lot like asparagus. Cut them before they get too hairy. Don’t eat too many, the Monarchs need them probably more than we do. Susan

Hi Leslie,

Thanks for featuring my recipe in your excellent article. Glad you enjoyed the recipe.

I’ve never found the need to peel burdock, which tastes great after it’s scrubbed. The Japanese probably do it for the color, but after all that digging, I don’t see the necessity of throwing away half your work.
